Hugoifier

Convert any website to a production-ready Hugo site with Decap CMS — pixel-perfect, no content loss.

How it works

Hugoifier takes three types of input and produces a deployable Hugo site with CMS:

Input Method AI needed?
Hugo theme Assembles, patches deprecated APIs, adds CMS No
Next.js app Captures rendered HTML from dev server No
Raw HTML Extracts head/body directly into Hugo templates No

AI is only used as a fallback (Next.js without a running dev server) or for lightweight structural analysis.

Quick start

pip install hugoifier

# Convert a Hugo theme
hugoifier complete themes/my-theme

# Convert a Next.js app (start your dev server first)
hugoifier complete path/to/nextjs-app

# Convert a raw HTML site
hugoifier complete path/to/html-site

Output goes to output/{name}/ — a complete Hugo site ready to serve:

cd output/my-site && hugo serve

What you get

  • Hugo site with all content, styles, and assets preserved
  • Decap CMS at /admin/ with GitHub OAuth (Cloudflare Pages Functions)
  • functions/api/auth.js + callback.js for OAuth flow
  • Whitelabel CMS branding (--cms-name, --cms-logo, --cms-color)

Deploy to Cloudflare Pages

hugo --minify
npx wrangler pages deploy public --project-name my-site

Set GITHUB_CLIENT_ID and GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET as environment variables for CMS auth.

Configuration

# Choose AI backend (only needed for fallback conversion)
HUGOIFIER_BACKEND=anthropic  # or openai, google
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-...

# Whitelabel CMS
hugoifier complete my-site --cms-name "My CMS" --cms-logo https://... --cms-color "#515be3"

Development

git clone https://github.com/ConflictHQ/hugoifier.git
